Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Zinc Pca
- Zinc salt for sebum control and antimicrobial; often paired with PCA sodium, high levels may cause sensitization
- Isatis Tinctoria Leaf Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Esculin
- Not decoded yet
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Rheum Rhabarbarum Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Phragmites Communis Extract
- Phragmites communis extract, primarily hydrating and conditioning; extraction method affects activity, control oxidation.
- Poria Cocos Extract
- Poria extract, traditionally used for hydration balance; data limited, usually a co-formulant
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum
- Caesalpinia spinosa gum; film former and moisturizer; plant-based thickener, gentle; for gels and emulsions.
- Galactoarabinan
- Gum arabic polysaccharide; film-forming humectant; highly soluble.
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
